Here's the next chapter guys, like I promised! Like I said, I'm trying to keep up with my stories, but I'm doing them slowly, sorry. :c Hope you love it~

I own none of these series, nor do I own the lyrics! The only thing that is mine is THIS plotline. :)


Cause tomorrow's another day,
and I'm thirsty anyway,
So bring on the rain.

No I'm not gonna let it get me down.
I'm not cry,
and I'm not gonna lose any sleep tonight.


A beautiful blue eyed teenager sat on the edge of a fountain at the park, dressed in jeans and a white button up shirt. Passerby's stopped and stared at the delicate beauty this teenager possessed. Suddenly, the teenager stood, eyes lighting up and started walking towards the entrance of the park.

"Tohru, is that you?" the teenager called.

The young girl that the teenager seemed to be calling out to turned and smiled, and the teenager was floored by her looks. Her blue eyes had only gotten bigger since they were kids, and her smile lit up her whole face, making everyone around her happier.

"Kagome! I'm so happy to see you!" Tohru exclaimed, walking towards her. As she got slower she slowed, and her eyes widened.

"Kagome…you're beautiful!" Tohru blurted out. Kagome blushed and smiled, which only magnified her beauty.

"Thank you, but like you should talk. You're gorgeous!" Kagome stated. Tohru turned beet red and started looking flustered.

"N-n-no no not at all! I mean you, look at you, I'm so plain next to you and it doesn't even compare, I can't imagine why-", Tohru was cut off as Kagome busted up laughing.

"I see your personality hasn't changed though. Still can't accept a compliment. You're too kind." Kagome told her.

And it was the truth. Even as kids, Tohru had been so gentle and kind. She had also been a bit naïve just as Nina was, and on more than one occasion, Kagome and Haruhi had come to their rescue when they'd unknowingly been being picked on. They'd never minded it, because they treasured each other, and nobody got away with teasing their precious friends.

"So uhm…are we the first ones here?" Tohru said nervously.

"Looks like. Mina and Serena will probably be late, no surprise there. Haruhi called me this morning, she should be here soon. I haven't heard from Nina in a few weeks though. Have you heard from her?"

"Ah, yes! I got a letter from her a few days ago, she said she'd definitely be here today!" Tohru proclaimed proudly.

"Then we just wait now right? While we wait, tell me what's been going on with you. How's your Gramps doing?" Kagome inquired.

While they had stayed friends, and they all intended to keep their promise, they hadn't been able to communicate as much as they'd like since Mina left for England again after the funeral. So though they knew each other was doing okay, they didn't know too many detail.

"I haven't talked to Gramps in a week or so, but I really should give him a call so he isn't worried," Tohru explained

"Wait, you're not still living with him? Do you have your own place? Did he kick you out?" Kagome questioned

"Oh no! Not at all, I don't think he'd ever kick me out. I'm actually staying with some school friends right now, in exchange for being their housekeeper. They treat me very kindly, and they're very good people. I'm so excited for you to meet them, and see Uo and Hana again too! I've made so many wonderful new friends, I really am very lucky," Tohru rejoiced.

Kagome smiled. She always admired Tohru's optimism and strength, because even though life had dealt her such a crappy card, she was always putting others problems before her own, and she never saw herself as lacking anything. Kagome had always felt guilty, just as she knew Mina, Serena, Haruhi, and Nina had, that Tohru hadn't told them she didn't know where she'd be staying from then on. Tohru had known that they all would have brought her into their own homes, with welcoming arms.

Tohru never had because although Kagome knew that Tohru missed her mother, Tohru always tried to make sure she wasn't a burden to anyone. Serena and Kagome's mothers already had so much on their plates with their own children as single moms. Mina and Haruhi lived in apartments with just their fathers, and even though Mina's was bigger, it was still only a two bedroom, so Tohru couldn't ask them to let her live with them. Nina had her training, and Tohru didn't want to interfere with that.

Kagome thought back to the day she'd gotten the news of Kyoko's death. Her mother had called the school, and Kagome had been pulled out of class and was told. She had immediately jumped on the train to go to Tohru.

When she'd gotten to the hospital, Haruhi and Nina were standing behind Tohru crying, and Tohru was draped over Kyoko's bed, holding onto her and sobbing. There was also a blonde haired girl and a raven haired girl there that Kagome later learned were Tohru's friend Arisa Uotani and Saki Hanajima. As soon as Kagome took in everything, she pulled Tohru into her arms and they cried together, for a very long time. Serena had arrived later, and Mina's flight came in the next morning.

Together, they had faced yet another tragedy in their lives. At the funeral service, they all stood in front of Kyoko's grave cocooning Tohru, holding onto each other, and trying to soothe her the best they could. They all spent the night at Tohru's that night, helping her get through the pain of her loss. Eventually though, they had to return to their own lives, but not before remembering their promise to each other. Mina and Serena were the first to leave, followed by Haruhi, then Nina, and finally Kagome.

"…you been up to Kagome?" Tohru questioned

Kagome came out of her thoughts as she remembered that she was still with Tohru.

"Sorry Tohru, I was just thinking about old times. What were you saying?"

"It's alright. I was just saying, don't worry about me. What have you been up to?" Tohru said.

"Uh, well. That's something I'd rather talk about when everyone gets here. I've made some friends that I'd like you all to meet too. They're a little eccentric, but I think you'll like them," Kagome said nervously.

"Oh that sounds wonderful! I can't wait to meet them, I'm sure we'll have so much fun together!" Tohru said excitedly.

Kagome laughed softly. She'd faced a lot of adventures these past two years, and had made great new friends, but she had missed her childhood friends.

"I wonder where everyone is…," Tohru questioned

"I'm sure they'll be here anytime now. Why don't we get some juice while we wait?" Kagome ventured

"Sure!" Tohru agreed.

They two of them walked out the entrance of the park and around the corner to the juice machine. As the two of them walked out of sight, two beautiful blonde women walked into the park, and sat down by the fountain.
